Waching daily Jan 1 2019

Hey, this is Daniel Norton.

I'm here in my studio in New York City

with Ashley and

I want to talk a little bit today about

these 501 reflectors.

Everybody has one!

I've had this one for ever.. it's all beat up

Right! They're great and

there are five in one reflectors, but

there are five one, so I want to kind of

show you a couple different ways

we can use it.

Since it's cold and not sunny I'm

just gonna set up a light here to kind

of show you guys, because nobody wants to

stand out in the cold!

So let's start off though with.. getting a

shot with the hard light, as if it was the sun.

So I've got my Profoto B1X here,

it has, it's fitted with the OCF magnum

reflector, which is a

punchy kind of light, and we're gonna

take a shot.

But first I want to do a

frame with no flash.

So you don't have to do anything,

oop...we want to do

that just to make sure that none of the

light from the windows or whatever is

affecting our shot, and it's not.

We are at f/8 at 250 of a second.

I have the Magnum over here in my group A,

and I also have a light on in the background,

just so that it is white.

Here we go okay so we

can see its tiny bit hot,

but we can see that you know it's hard light,

even in the studio which has a lot of white

walls, or all the lights bouncing around.

We can see that the that the light is,

you know, got harsh shadows on her face.

There's a better exposure, okay.

We've things going... actually it's hard right

you can see the shadow. It's also

specular, so we could see the shininess

on her. So for somebody like Ashley, that

might actually be okay. Right? She has

good shape to her face, some people can

really take the hard light, and maybe

we're done, we could be like.. hey alright

let's have lunch...

done... but for most people,

they're gonna want something.

Partially the shadow might just be too

dark, and you want to

fill it in a little bit. So that's where

the reflector is gonna come in. So I have

this one here, this is a PhotoFlex one.

I believe, and it has two different kinds

of silver. You've got Tiffany silver and

then you have Walmart silver.

I guess I don't know, know the two

different silvers...

is a hard silver and a soft one, we're

gonna use a soft. So it's gonna use a

c-stand to hold it because I always use

the most heaviest and possible for every

single thing.

And remember my lights coming from here

actually let me put the modeling light on

for you guys, modeling light yep.. there it is!

So let's come from over here, so I want

to make sure it bounces into the shadows

I'm gonna bring it in, and you wanna

bring it in as close as you can.

So why am I using silver you might ask?

Is it because we just said on silver already

now it's too lazy to change it ...that

could be the reason, but actually it's

because I'm using a specular light

source to shoot her.. right? On this side

so I kind of wanted to feel the same, so

silver is why I'm using.. so

let's see if that's not in the shot.

All right, so we'll do a test, perfect.

So we can see now if we compare the two.

Still the same light right?

But now we have a lot more shadow detail right?

So it looks a little bit nicer, and that's pretty

much how people always use these

things and they're great, and you buy these five

and ones and you're like oh okay.

I'm gonna use a reflector, but really what's

kind of cool about these I think, and the

part that I like to use a lot, is the

internal part of this. The internal part

of this is actually a diffuser, so we'll

take this one off. This is very old so

it can take me a minute.

I've used this maintenance. Okay

you have to be able to

shake it off. It's like a flourish.. okay

This is diffusivity, really, so this is

gonna you know, the lights are gonna go

through it. It is gonna become larger and

that makes it softer right?

So because I can't magically hold it up in the air,

I'll use the stand again.

All I want to do here...

so because the stand, the arm, the C stand

is so close to the the diffuser.

It's not going to cast a shadow on the you know,

on her, but I am still gonna give myself

as much space as possible here, by

putting it towards the edge of it, okay I

want to keep the general direction of

light the same. Pop it in like that, cuz

you can't move the Sun.

I won't move the light,

that would be cheating, and one

thing we want to do is, moving it as

close as possible, because we want as

much coverage as possible.

Let's see that in my shot,

nope, all right, I'm gonna do what I just

said I wasn't gonna do, since it's a... I'm

in studio, and I can cheat.

I'm gonna actually move this back a bit

the reason why I'm doing that is because I want to

cover the entire diffuser. Okay?

So now that's obviously going to eat up some

light.

I'm gonna give myself I mean,

manual on the flash trigger.

Why? I don't know.. why is anybody doing anything..

this happened to be on manual... there we go.

Oh that was pretty good guess.

Yes so, one more stop of light,

we can see, nice and even.

I think I going to do myself... a tiny bit more

go 2/10ths more 3/10ths more...

why not? okay...

there we go.

So we added a bit more in, we

can see that we have more light

on her face, and look at how nice and soft

it is. You know, really there isn't any shadow over here

So we'll show you the comparisons.

okay...

so we can see here.. we have the three shots.

We've got the initial shot with

the hard light coming in, kind of darkish

shadows. Then we have the filled in

shadows here, by using as a reflector you

can still see the light is still

specular though,

And then here we've got a smoother

softer light. Specularity is down a

little bit, it might be a smidge dark

still, and what you obviously can just

give it a little more light there, and

you know there you got with the, with the

one reflector system.

So I actually want

now that I have the soft light the way I want it.

I'm just gonna shoot a couple more.

I'm adding more intensive light to it. Yeah

perfect... - here we go. This is... good

you'll notice too... - I'm not chopping off the

top of her head, so nobody has to ask me

that question... why I cut off her head?

We will get the next video, and she's just

working it. She's like, I need a new

profile shot. Oh... very wintery. it's like

Speigel dialog....there we go!

Exactly there we go... that's the one,

that's the cover of the catalog right?

There that's again.. the shot that's gonna

make us a lot of money... yeah!

So we can see that again people are

using these 5 in 1 reflectors as reflectors

all the time, but remember this is that

diffusive part inside of it. So you can use that to

completely change the way the light

looks. So I'll put Ashley's info in the

description for you guys to follow her.

12 Signs Someone Is Interested In You - Duration: 6:33.

I'm excited about this one this is my top 12 signs someone's interested in you

so this could be that they're interested in you possibly for a personal

relationship or for a professional one I'm a bit out of practice I'm gonna

happy loving relationship and I'm a family guy so I'm not out there you know

on the dating scene but I have studied behavior carefully now this is not based

on behavioral science these are just things that are based on my own

experience so I figure I got to share those with you

number one you suddenly look at someone and then you happen to see that person

look away right at the moment that you look at them I can't say this is based

on behavioral science and it might even be in in professional work settings if

someone was just fascinated with what you had to say and then you look over in

a meeting and then they look down and they look away my second sign that

someone might be interested in you in some capacity you'll notice that when

they're around you they tend to kind of fix her hair and or fix their tie or do

different things that are kind of like primping themselves or getting

themselves ready so that's a that's a common behavior where you see them

making themselves look good for you number three signs someone might be

interested in you what you'll notice is that even when the when the things that

you say are not really that funny the person might exaggerate and kind of

laugh a lot at the things that you say so you might feel really good that

they're laughing it's probably intended for you to feel good about things now

not to be confused with someone who's being disingenuous and just sucking up

to you and fake laughing I think if someone's interested in you in some

capacity they tend to nod their head and laugh and smile when you say things my

fourth sign that someone might be interested in you is that they tend to

touch you a lot so they might grab your arm when and when you're laughing they

might touch your knee now I'm not talking about like creepy touching I

mean just simply kind of like a lot of reasons to put their arm on your arm or

to kind of like pat your back that that sort of thing my fifth sign that someone

might be interested in you is maybe from a dating perspective so you'll hear them

often say that they don't have a boyfriend or they don't have a

girlfriend or significant other so you'll hear

them say that repeated times which is kind of like a sign that they're

interested in in dating my sixth signal that someone might be interested in you

is that you end up getting text messages at late hours at very odd hours often

after midnight you know I'm not I'm not talking about like the late night drunk

text I mean they're actually up thinking about you for some reason and then

they're they're sending text so one little hack that I want to throw out

there if you have something that you want to get off your chest and you want

to text someone the Verizon has a really cool app I get nothing from Verizon but

they have an app actually built into the texting program where you can schedule

your text message to deliver the next morning all right tip number seven

someone might be interested in you this one actually does have human biology

behind it so if someone's interested in you if you look closely if they have

later eyes now it doesn't work so great with someone that has darker eyes but if

you look closely at the moment that they're speaking to you you might see

their pupils dilate a little bit so it just shows an interest and there's some

biology behind that and my eighth indication someone might be interested

in you this could be in a professional setting or just in any kind of meeting

for that matter the person just in their body language you'll see them kind of

lean into you so when someone's very interested engaged in a conversation

they're gonna lean into you while you're speaking and kind of have an open stance

which is a big difference from the person that's kind of crossing their

arms closed off having their feet towards the door and kind of leaning

back and looking around and checking their text messages so the person leans

into you and they give you that eye contact my ninth indications someone

might be interested in you is that they they may ask you personal questions

within a conversation and they actually remember the answers to those personal

questions instead of just making small talk they remember your dog's name your

children's name your second uncle all these different little factors that seem

to be not that relative but they remember these things and then they

inject them into the next conversation all right my tenth signal someone might

be interested in you is that they truly make plans with you so you actually sit

with their schedule and their phone in their app and they actually try to work

out a time that you can meet again or they follow up with a text message as

opposed to the person that you haven't seen in a long time and you meet them on

the street and they say oh yeah let's get together sometime and it never

happens you know they're not going to contact you they know they're not going

to contact you which is very different from the person that actually wants to

nail down a time to meet up with you for dinner later my eleventh indication that

someone's interested in you is they they actually make sure that they introduce

you to their close friends and their family because if someone's not

interested in you you'll notice I'll keep that distance but if they have you

over for dinner to meet the parents and to meet family members or close friends

they're basically trying to make sure that they they have their friends kind

of sniff out whether you're an appropriate person for them and my

twelfth and final indication that someone might be interested in you is

that they actually care about your safety and they and they might text you

or ask you to promise you'll call them to make sure that you got home safely

so you know that way someone truly cares so when you're not in their presence

they're actually worrying about you or concern for your safety and they they

follow up and say did you get home okay that's a nice indication so hopefully

these are helpful again these are just based on my own experience they're not

necessarily based on science but those top 12 indications that someone might be

interested you might be able to help you as an entrepreneur in business or it

might be able to help you with your relationships and with your family
